Early W5YF QSL Card from the 1930s!
W5YF Amateur Radio Station QSL Card Collection from 1924 to 1930s...
QSL cards are exchanged to verify a contact and used to win awards for working many
countries and similar contests.
These cards hold particular interest in that they document the SMU W5YF radio station
dates back to 1924 - so 1999 is our 75th Anniversary!
